so..is it worth it?

i guess he found out that the OH SHIT IM OUTTA 3GS thread was gonna come from importing, so its a over now . If doing 2jz-NA-T just buy my car. if not go 2jz-gte if u have the higher budget

Don't do 2JZGE unless you know exactly what you're getting into.

If I were you, assuming you can afford it.. 2JZGTE professional install. Stock Twins. Reliable, smooth, 400whp on factory twin turbos. It's the perfect option for your situation. You want a reliable car, 400whp, and don't have much turbo knowledge. Don't overcomplicate it.

Expect to spend about what you estimated importing that RHD JZA70 for.. at least 6+G's..

Ahhh Scott you only learn by doing it. Just let em buy my supra =). Not many people do the 2J-NA-T or even have it in there car like mine, but ultimately it depends what he wants to do and spend his $$ on.

I would listen to IJ and take his advise.
I am going through the swap as of right now. Been through 7ms, 1JZ and now a 2jz. If you don't know what you are doing, it can be costly and frustrating. Fortunately for me, I can do alsmost all of my work myself except for making pretty welds... lol.and welding can get expensive.

You are also talking about have a big turbo and a small turbo. Both at the same time or replace them as needed?
You have skills and knowledge of fabrication?
You may end up needing a manifold, IC, exhaust setup if you are going that route.
Wiring harness and sourcing swap parts like the tranny/bellsousing/clutch kit,mounts etc are some of the things you may want to think about as well.

Is it worth it? That is only something you can answer after you do tha swap. For me , it is.

I don't know if your current car's a turbo or not, but before you go planning to do anything with a turbo engine, you may want to fix that problem you have of not knowing much about turbos. Just a thought.
